Animal Flow Level 1 ONLINE WORKSHOP (Asia Time Zone)

Join us for the Animal Flow® Level 1 Workshop, taught online via video remote (through Zoom). The workshop will be taught live by Master Instructor Kelie Su.

Participation is limited to 28 individuals, so that we can still ensure students will have an appropriate amount of interaction with each other and with Kelie Su. This workshop will be taught in English. It is 6.5 hours each day, beginning at 8am UTC+8 (Singapore time) / 10am UTC+10 (Sydney time). You must be present for the full time on both days – if this workshop time is not convenient for your time zone, please register for a different workshop.

We will be offering this in different time zones on different days. (See list of other online workshops HERE.)

HOW TO PARTICIPATE/ REQUIREMENTS

This course will be taught utilizing the Zoom video conference platform. This is not a webinar livestream, but rather an interactive workshop where participants will be able to see and interact with the Instructor, and the Instructor will in turn be able to view all the participants. A maximum of 28 students will be admitted, to ensure the Instructor is able to see everybody clearly and to facilitate a smooth experience for everyone.

You will need to set up your laptop/webcam in an area where you have space to practice the Animal Flow movements. A living room area is sufficient, but you may want to move your furniture aside, if possible, for the duration of the workshop.

You will need to have access to WiFi that is strong enough to stream video for the full 6.5 hours each day. We will not be able to help you if your WiFi connection is poor. If you know you do not have access to a good WiFi signal, we do not recommend attempting to complete this course online.

We will utilize the Zoom platform for the workshop. You will be able to download the Zoom app to your computer for free. We recommend stream the video from your laptop to a larger screen – such as a large tv in your living room – if you have that option. That will allow you to see and hear the Instructor and the other students clearly, while also being able to practice the moves in your space. It is possible to participate using only a laptop, but you will need to be prepared to move back and forth quite a bit as you view what is being demonstrated on the screen, and then work on the move in your space. You should NOT plan on doing the entire workshop on a Smartphone – you will not be able to see the Instructor and other students well enough on a tiny screen.

We will provide time for short breaks during the workshop, as well as a 30 minute lunch break each day.

You must be present for the entire Workshop. You will receive the PDF of the Student Manual on the day of the Workshop (in the morning) and access to all Level 1 tutorials via email immediately after the registration (payment), but you will NOT have ongoing access to the Workshop itself after it is completed.

ABOUT THE COURSE

The L1 online course will cover the identical curriculum as the live workshop. The Instructor will provide the same lecture materials, and will teach the exact same movements. You will also have the opportunity to engage with the other participants in small group work, just as you would in the live workshop.

L1 is an intensive two-day workshop (13 hours total) where you’ll learn all 30 Level 1 moves, including regressions, progressions, and variations for all skill levels. You’ll explore how and when to use each movement individually, as well as how to link them together into flows of your own design.

The workshop is open to fitness professionals and non-professionals, as we welcome everyone interested in becoming a better mover. Fitness professionals are eligible to become Certified AF Instructors, who are allowed to teach AF in personal training, group fitness classes, or other fitness programs. Becoming certified requires completing the test process after the workshop. Non-professionals all welcome to take the course for their own benefit, but are not authorized to teach it without first attaining an appropriate fitness credential. You can find the details on the certification process and benefits HERE.

CURRICULUM

You’ll cover all 6 components of Animal Flow, including the Traveling Forms (the “ABCs” of animal movements); Switches and Transitions; Wrist Mobility; Activations; Form Specific Stretches, and, of course, Flows.

The workshop starts with base positions, which systematically build in difficulty and complexity over the two days. Movements are taught within the context of scientifically-based concepts relevant to anyone working in health and fitness industries. By the end of the second day, the entire class will be performing a sequence known as the Beast flow which integrates a large majority of the movements from the workshop. This becomes a structure from which they may begin their own creative practice.
